About Salt Lake Temple
The Salt Lake Temple took 40 years to build, from its 1853 cornerstone to its dedication in 1893, using quartz monzonite that looks like granite, quarried in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Its six spires stand at the center of Temple Square, where you can also visit the Tabernacle, Assembly Hall and a visitors center. The temple closed in 2019 for a seismic renovation, and public tours of the interior run April 5 to October 1, 2027.
